I took mine from a friend. She's hot and sassy
Winnie has been my nickname since I was a child. I use it for my female name (with the spelling changed) as it's convenient and a name I really like... My female middle name is Helen as it's the name I was teased with when I was a child for being a little bit girly...
I liked the name Lisa, and my last name was picked at random when I had to do some online investigations some years ago. I got used to my online name and began to consider it my true name. Am retired from that line of work for some years now.
I have thought about my femme name for most of my life. In my fantasies, it was normally Karenmarie or just
plain Karen. Have no idea why Karen, just a name that I love. Marie....My Mom's middle name and I have always
love the name Marie. So it seems that when I became a girl in my fantasies or even in real life, my name was
always Karenmarie. On the forums I've switched it to Karen Marie (2 names) and then Harris. Harris is a name
that I have loved for centuries, so thats that.
i took my name from a girl i was madly in love with in high school....Jeri... then Ann as an american version of Ana. so viola! Jeri Ann... TaDa...
When I decided to join this forum it was the first thing that popped into my mind. She was my tenth grade chemistry teacher, a mousy little dark-eyed thing with a perm and a twangy Southern accent. We made fun of her as kids do but I guess she was as good a role model as any. Ha!
When I was younger, I used to dream of bein ga girl. I figured when anyone called my name, it could go either way. My male name is Chris and as others have posted, I still answer to Chris in both modes.
my name is my given name by my mom guess she really knew......kimberly
Almost the exact same story as Jeri Ann. Trisha was the girl up the block who as a teenager back then had more grace and sophistican than many women I know today. She's my alter ego's role model.Quote:

My male birth name begins with the letter J. I wrote down about a dozen girls' names that I liked that begin with J on separate slips of paper, mixed them up in a jar and let fate decide as I picked the one that said "Jennifer". I don't remember how many years (or decades!) ago I did this but I've been Jennifer ever since.
I picked my husband cd name. I think it fits him, playful, prissy, feminine, Her name is Carrie.
I chose Sophie because it is a name that has so much meaning to me. In Gnostic tradition, Sophia symbolises the feminine aspects of God, while in later religious writings Sophia come to represent feminine wisdom. I really also loved the book Sophie's World, and the movie Sophie's choice (although it makes me cry). I also get a lot of inspiration from Catherine the Great of Russia, who's real name was Sophia. She was not inhibited by gender and was able to use it to her own will. When fulfilling the role of a glorious and beautiful empress, she would dress in the most incredible flowing dresses and jewellry, and became the most beautiful woman in Russia. When dealing with her generals on matters of military importance however, she would ride to the Kremlin gates on warhorse dressed in a full general's uniform. I just admire this woman so much.
Apart from that, I just love the name.
I chose Emily pretty much at random... I needed an alias for setting up my blog and after considering it for a while Emily felt right somehow.
After I chose it a good friend of mine (the only one who knows about my desire to CD, etc) said that I reminded her of Mischa Barton, so that's where that part came from. Mischa is gorgeous so its absolutely fine by me! ;)
I am the elder one of the two brothers and my parents wanted a daughter in place of me.
They even mentioned that if i were a girl I wud be named Sarika and also 'S' is the starting alphabet of my male name.
My full femme name is Alyssa Shirley Englefield. The name "Alyssa" came from a search for popular girls' names in 1991 (the year I was born), and is not far from the name Mum would have called me if I was born a girl (Alicia). "Shirley" comes from both my grandmothers' first name - yes, both were named Shirley. "Englefield" actually came from my bathroom vanity ("Englefield Bathrooms")
My wife called me Brenda why I don't really know.
Mine is Elizabeth Ann or Beth Ann for short. Source, my great admiration of Elizabeth Taylor.
Kinda picked my name outta thin air, although it does reflect my love for Western wear in general, and Calamity Jane is the most famous Western girl I think there is, and she displayed the right mix of female and male traits.
I picked So Yon. Not only do I love playing a girl, but I also love playing Asian. I think I pass for Korean more than any other... and So Yon is a girl I worked with a long time ago. So, I picked that one :) Also, it kind of stands out from typical CD/TS names like "Destiny" or "Candy"
I thought about maybe Ayme as an alternative spelling, but I'm having second thoughts.
As ridiculous as it might sound, I chose the name Terra from one of the main characters in Final Fantasy 6. Terra had a mind manipulation device attached to her for most of her life, stripping her of the ability to think. Once it was removed, she became a quiet girl who was introverted, afraid to trust people while always thinking about what her existence meant. She was the ONLY natural magic user in the world and at first regarded herself as a freak of nature. Over time, her experiences taught her otherwise and she came to terms with herself and even being fortunate enough to love and be loved by a group of children who lost their parents.
I initially picked the name because I had come to like it but now that I look back, pieces of the past for the character Terra can be related to my life. So, I don't imagine I'll be changing from this name any time soon.
There was a girl in high school who knew my secret and helped me dress up. She always said I looked like an alexa.
Alison just seemed to come into my mind after a few dressing up sessions. The surname is my grandmother's maiden name.
My real name is Lance... Growing up I always had people call me Lancie as sort of a juvenile sign of affection or something.. I went by that for awhile but it still seemed like my male name so I just dropped the "N" and moved it out after Lacie. Hence Lacie Anne (or N)
My name is Jennifer, no deep reason behind it im araid, just felt right :)
My name would be Elizabeth Ann or "Beth Ann" if I had a choice,
I looked through a name book. I loved the name Melody. My wife likes the name too.
I spy a Konata in this threat! *gets my net*
The story of the rise of PuniPuni is a long and complicated one which I will tell now because I'm putting off writing a paper. About 2000, I discovered the Internet! \o/ What followed was about 7 years of multiple online handles, most of which revolved around the anime Tenchi Muyo. Then about my junior year of college I realized that more animes than Tenchi exists and that I had money. So I got into other animes. I was also a history student and ran around as Anu, a Mesopotamian god of the sky or light or something... Anyways, at about that time I was diagnosed with clinical depression! \o/
After three years of therapy and such, I realized that my old online handle was making me depressed, so I created a new one. But this time I was sick of all my handles bringing out the most negative in me, so I made myself create the most positive image I could. Using the anime Popotan as a source of inspiration, PuniPuni was born! (Puni means "squishy" or "plushie" in Japanese). I've been PuniPuni for about four years now and so far it's the longest online handle I've ever had. Whether I'd introduce myself as PuniPuni in public is hard to say. It's not really a normal name in any culture... But I likes it. <3
Three girls I grew up with and idolized and wanted to look/be like. I am named Brandi after one of my best friends Brandy growing up. Ironcially none of the three girls knows about Brandi since I have lost touch with them.
I still haven't decided on a name. I was considering Lenore, Leondra, and another one which I can't remember. Just call me L.
L
My given name is James, thus simple and easy is Jamie. No magic here, nor much thought.
My wife and I sat down many years ago with a baby name book and picked it out. It is of celtic origin, and my last name is a reference to my male first name.
Well, my female name is Daniella, or Dani for short. I chose it based off my middle name. Daniel. (Pronounced Danielle, the traditional hispanic way. :P) I added the a on then end because...honestly...it sounded more Italian, and even though I'm not Italian, I sorta wish I was. xD I even chose a new middle name too: Monette. Cause it sounded pretty. ^_^ Daniella Monette Gonzalez. :)
Asking my Mum what she would have called me if I'd been born a real girl.
I have had 3 names. The first was the UK female spelling of my birth name, which was very confusing, because with so many US users on both the forums I joined, I discovered that the British convention - Leslie male, Lesley female - is reversed. Not sure if that's true everywhere, but then after my first trip out dressed I thought a proper 'femme name' would be appropriate. Those likely to offended by religious jokes stop reading now!
It was in January, near the date when I was confirmed into the Anglican Church, the Feast of the Conversion of St Paul - so I called myself Paula D'Amascus ( ie - Paul on the road to Damascus - feminised.
That served until my marriage ended and I planned a legally binding name change, at which point I wanted a name that wasn't really a joke - no joking matter at any level any more - and also one that I could use all the time - not only in female mode as it will be a while before I can consider going full-time.
I then thought about my wife's and my plans, when we met, to have a child ourselves. She already had a daughter, but we thought it was not too late to try. Well - with the tests and everything it worked out that I had plenty of resources numerically, so to speak, but too high a proportion were damaged - so it was unlikely that we would manage a child.
When we were trying we discussed names, as you do, and by quirk of fate hit on a name, regardless of whether it was a boy or girl - and settled on Ashley.
So that is now who I am - all legal and above-board!
not really a big story to me picking my name =) Just that my real name is kyle so my Girlfriend called me Kylie so i suck with that LOL, i know that Kyle can be a girl's name as well but Kylie sounds better to me =P.
Well lets see.....
Tiffany = My wife called me Tiffany once when she was mad at me because I was acting like a co worker named Tiffany.
It stuck after that.
Lee = Is the oldest of my three sisters middle name and she asked if I would carry it too.
Marie = My wife has two legal middle names. Marie being the second so she added it to Tiffany Lee and it became Tiffany Lee
Marie
Diamond = A universal last name shared with another CD sister I am close too. We chose Diamond because neither of our own
last names fit well.
Tiffany Lee Marie Diamond
I've always liked the name Cassandra, so it stuck with me. And after telling my high school best friend, it stuck even more
I did the supremely lazy thing of just taking the names of two actresses I fancied a bit (Jennifer Aniston and Cameron Diaz), and just did a bit of a cut-n-shut job!
I recently found out that there's a Latina actress with my name!
When I dress, I keep my real name anyway (which is really blokey btw), this is just a cheap alternative to use in public!
Tam is Matt (my real name) backwards the two i's replaced a y over time to make......Tamii!!
I went with Molly because it's one of my favorite names, and it's the name of one of my favorite fictional characters, Molly from William Gibson's Sprawl Trilogy. Although, I'm not nearly the badass that Molly Millions is.
I finally decided on it last night after a few months. i was stuck on either Chloe or Josiphine. I don't know why but I love those names. Decided that Josiphine just fit me better while dressed and fit my personality much more.
WEll Cerena just cause I actually used to nick a female char in a game like that so..
Munshine (moonshine is how it is pronounced) Nightwood was the name of a druid character that I played a long time ago. I loved the name, and that is why I chose it foe my female name.
my ex used to call me alana i always liked it
I live at the beach for part of the year and always dress there, since I'm by myself there.......................
i liked then name Lauren or Amanda i ended up with Lauren after a little game of Eeny meeny miney mo
I have chosen Beth Ann as my female name.
My name has evolved a bit just like me. I have chosen to be Mary Louise because Mary was my mother and I wish to honor her. My middle name is Louise and it comes from my wife. When I told her I was a CD, she said "geez louise", so I am Mary louise.
